THE MORNING- OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. JUNE 5, .1913- SENATORS IGNORE STORIES OF PLOTS Committee Will Visit Strike Region, Despite Warning of New Hostilities. INQUIRY IS SUBDIVIDED Borah to IiOok Into Peonage and False Arrests First-Hand In formation, to Be Obtained at Various Mines. WASHINGTON, June 4. Disregard ing intimations that their appearance in "Went Virginia might result in fur ther outbreaks of violence, members of the Senate sub-committee appointed to Investigate conditions in the West Vir ginia coal fields completed, today, plans for their trip to Charleston. The committee will begin the exam ination of about 100 witnesses, present ing the case of the miners on Tuesday at Charleston, the center of the dis turbances, which for more than a year have kept the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek coal fields in a state of civil war. The committee heard, unmoved, to day the statement of General C. C. Watts and Colonel W. T. Vinson, rep resenting the coal mine operators, that a renewal of actual hostilities might be precipitated by the activities of the committee in West Virginia. Mr. Watts intimated that a recently discovered plot against the life of Governor Hat field, said to have been framed by a Rroup of armed miners gathering at Lamont Hollow, might be traced to the agitation attending the efforts of the committee up to date. Borah to Look Into Peonage. Owing to the wide scope of the Inves tigation Senator Borah will direct that branch of the inquiry authorized in the first section of . the resolution which charges the committee to determine "whether or not uny system of peonage probably was or is maintained in th fields." and section four, which relates to the charge that "citizens of the United States have been arrested, tried and convicted In violation of the con stltutional laws of the United States.1 Senator Martin will have charge of the inquiry under section two, relating to interference -with the postal laws and section three, concerning violation of the immigration laws. Senator Shields has section five, which authorizes a report on "to what extent conditions existing in the coal fields have been caused by agreements and combinations enterefl into contrary to the laws of the United States for the purpose of controlling the production, sale and transportation of coal." Miners to Be Visited. Senator Kenyon will investigate under section six, relating to the ship mont of firearms, ammunition and ex plosives into the coal fields with the purpose of excluding the products ol these coal fields from competitive mar kets in interstate trade," and the gen eral inquiry under section seven, "if sny or all of these conditions exist, to discover the causes leading up to &uch conditions.'' 7t is probable that In their' stay In West Virginia the members of the com. inittee will visit the various mines in the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek dis tricts to secure first hand information. SENSATIONS ATTEND DERBY f Hontlnnert From THrgt Pagg.i nasty cut in the head, but his injuries otherwise were not serious. Meanwhile the race had ended in a close and exciting finish, with Craga nour, the favorite, first past the post. Then it became known that an objec tion had been raised and after many minutes of suspense it was announced that Craganour had been disqualified for bumping in the stretch and that the race had been awarded to the out sider. Aboyeur, who had made all the running and led into the stretch. It was said that the owner of Aboyeur had raised no objection to the winner, but the stewards of the Jockey Club had instituted an inquiry. Objection First Since 1S44. It is almost unheard of for an ob jection to be raised to the winner of the derby. The last occasion was in 184-t. The stewards' decision brought about an extraordinary contrast to the scenes nf enthusiasm which had fol lowed t'hc ptittlnsf Op of Craganour's number. The stewards said tonight that they did not disqualify Craganour simply for bumping, but because they were satisfied that Johnny Rleff, his Jockey, had unduly Interfered with other horses throughout a greater part of the race. It is said by experts that there was a remarkable amount of unfair. If not foul, riding and this year's derby Is regarded as one of the most unsatis factory in the history of the event. Militant's FVat la Sensation. All previous suffragette demonstra tions were thrown Into the shade by the sensation caused by Emily Davl ison's reckless feat in throwing herself In the front of the King's horse while going lown the track at full stride. Comparatively few of the 1000 specta tors watching the leaders of the race saw tho affair, which is likely to end In the first fatality of the militant compaign. Those nearest to Tattenham corner had a glimpse of a woman darting di rectly in front of two galloping horses, she ducked almost under Agadlr's neck to reach Anmer. Some say she waved her arms to stop the horse: others that bho seized the rein. According to some Anmer's shoulders struck her on the head: according to others the women fainted Just as the horse was upon her. .lockey Jones was stunned by the fall anil did not know what stopped hlra lie could not even recojlect that he aw a woman. There was a scream and the King' horse plunged over, landing on the rider. The crowd quickly surrounded inem and then ambulances arrived. Miss Davidson was picked up. A card loiina in her pocket Inscribed: "Davidson. W. S. P. U. helper." Woman's Condition Critics!. At midnight the woman was still un conscious in Kpsom Hospital, and the oootors said her condition was critical Miss Davidson's career has been full of excitement. Once she flung herself Sown a prison stairway as a protest tgalnst forcible feeding and was badiv injurea. A third sensational incident of Derby day occurred In a latir race when the bay colt Kelizardo broke his leg at t'.ie niusn, ciu-ecny in iront ol the grand stand, gave his Jockey a bad fall and had to be killed in the presence of the King ana Queen. The racing career of Craganour's owner, C. Bower Ismay, who Is a brother of J. Bruce Ismay, has been crowded with bad luck. The stewards recently ruled his trainer off thecourse for complicity in unfair riding. The public generally upholds the Judges in their disqualification of the horse. In the "blue ribbon" event the IS runners got away to a good start. The rank outsider, Aboyeur. showed, the way up the hill. Six furlongs from home Aboyeur was still leading, fol lowed by Craganour, Aldegond. Nim bus and Louvois. Rounding the famous Tattenham Corner, Aboyeur still held the command In front of Shogun and Craganour. Close home Craganour challenged and in an exciting finish passed the post, leading by only a VETERAN S. P. CONDUCTOR I DIES AT AGE OF 64. 1 g Charles 1. Berry. Charles D.

Moody, Counsel for De fense, Makes Bitter Attack on Prosecution lor Methods Pur sued In Getting Evidence. After an hour's deliberation, a verdict of guilty was yesterday returned by the Jury in the case of Max G. Cohen, charged with subornation of perjury, in United States District Court before Judge Bean. The maximum penalty is five years' imprisonment In the Federal prison on Mc.Neal Island, but it is not expected that Cohen will be sentenced for more than three vears. v-onen is a lawyer, and his arrest came as a result of his defense of Jake Gronich, who was convicted on a white slavery charge about six months ago. In the progress of this case, Esther wooo. tne man s wife, acting, as the evidence in the case which closed yes terday showed, on Cohen's advice, testified that sbe had never engaged in immoral practices in any part of the country. Yesterday she admitted that she had committed perjury in giving tnis testimony, and there was much corroborative evidence to this effect. Character Witnesses Called. Among the witnesses called by the defense to testify as to Cohen's good cnaracter were Mayor Rushlight: D. Soils Cohen, attorney and member of the Mayor's Executive Board; N. W. ttountree, a real estate man: Robert W. Schmeer, cashier of the United States National Bank; Slg Sichel, cigar merchant; W. M. Cake, attorney, B. F. Boynton; FranK collier, former As sistant District Attorney; Ted Lansing, a newspaper man, and James F. Kerchem. Witnesses were called by the Govern ment to testify that Cohen's reputation as a lawyer had not been good. Cohen was tried in Circuit Court be fore Judge Morrow In January, 1912, for having offered, as acting municipal Judge, to dismiss a case on the payment of S150 to him by the defendant. At that time he was acquitted, his attorney arguing that Inasmuch as his offer had not been accepted and he had not been actually bribed, that he had been guilty of no crime. His attorney at that time, as in the case which closed yesterday. was Ralph E. Moody. Prosecution Is Arraigned. Mr. Moody in his argument to the Jury bitterly arraigned the prosecution for the methods it had pursued in get ting evidence against Cohen. Esther Wood, the principal witness against Cohen, has been under indictment for perjury for several months. If she had been tried and convicted, under United States law she could not have been admitted as a competent witness against Cohen, hence Cohen was tried first. Esther Wood must still undergo trial for the perjury which she says she committed on Cohen's advice. She testified yesterday that she had re ceived no promise of leniency from the Government for testifying against Cohen, but Attorney Moody declared that the fact that she is now at liberty on bail of only $50 is evidence that she has been led to . expect that she will not be punished heavily. Clarence I Reames, the new United States District Attorney, conducted the prosecution in person, and has the satis faction of having won the first case to be tried under his regime. He was as sisted by Deputy District Attorney Mo wry. THIEVES TAKE $3 WATCH Man Robber Finds Policeman and Together They Find Robbers.
